Bad date? Soon women will have a way to send out an SOS without
making transparent excuses to duck out to the ladies room. Pants
with a built-in pocket that let you text with one hand while
sipping a drink with the other will be available this spring.

The smartphone jeggings (that's a cross between jeans and
leggings) first appeared at the FashionWare
runway show at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las
Vegas. Alphyn’s Valencia Jeggings are made of stretch denim with
a protective pocket sewn on one leg that can fit all but the
biggest smartphones
, or "phablets," the extra-large phone-tablet hybrids. The
pocket's protective, transparent cover allows the wearer to use a
phone without taking it out of her pocket.

The San Francisco-based company says the design was inspired by
fighter pilots' G-suits, which have straps and pockets on the
thighs to provide easy access to maps and notes while in the air.
Alphyn line of clothing for men includes jeans and jackets with
similar pockets, as well as a hoodie with a drop-down chest
pocket for an iPad.

The Jeggings will be available in red and black on Alphyn's website in sizes
x-small through xx-large for $85.
